HOLDREGE, Neb., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Allmand Bros.,
Inc., a subsidiary of Briggs & Stratton
Corporation and a manufacturer of high-performance portable
job site equipment, is pleased to announce the launch of its new
Night-Lite™ GR-Series light tower line and
Maxi-Heat™ 1M BTU towable heater at the 2020 ARA
Show.
"The new, compact GR-Series light towers offer customers the
flexibility of several powertrain options, including air-cooled
diesel, gasoline or a towable chain unit, and further expands our
portfolio of leading job site and special event lighting
solutions," says Joan Westwater,
product manager job site, Allmand. "We're also excited to launch
our new, versatile Maxi-Heat 1M BTU
towable heater, which rounds out our heater lineup and provides
reliable heat that easily transitions from warming equipment to
curing concrete."
Show attendees will have the opportunity to see the new
Night-Lite™ GR-Series light tower, which is designed to be a
compact work horse on the job site. The air-cooled Yanmar diesel
engine provides lightweight, low maintenance power and can handle
temperatures of -6 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
Featuring a 45-gallon fuel tank, four fuel-efficient LED fixtures
with 195,592 total lumens clock in with a 300-hour run time — the
longest in the industry. 20 units can be shipped on a 48-foot
truck, and each tower offers a 12% increase in total cost of
ownership compared to the leading competitor based on 5 years of
service and industry residual value.
"We're excited to be among the first to offer an air-cooled
diesel engine powered light tower, which reduces maintenance,
lowers total cost of ownership and increases uptime," said
Westwater.
In addition to the engine powered units, Allmand is also
launching a simpler, lighter and lower cost GR-Series Chain light
tower. The towable chain unit is easy to deploy and maneuver.
Offering flexible power, it works with any 15- or 20-amp power
source and features daisy-chain capabilities to fully illuminate
the job site.
Also on display is the new Maxi-Heat® 1M BTU, a robustly designed towable indirect
fired heater. With two independently operating burners providing up
to a combined 1,000,000 BTUs of heat, this unit provides reliable
heat in even the harshest of conditions. For ease of operation, the
Maxi-Heat comes fully equipped with the iQ system, which
automatically calibrates each burner for reliable trouble-free
operation and eliminates the tedious trial and error combustion
measurements and adjustments. Recirculation is standard on all
Maxi-Heat products, resulting in increased efficiency and lower
fuel consumption.
In addition to the new light towers and heater, a new Night-Lite
E Series manual winch plug-in light tower unit will be on display.
Made to withstand 50 mph winds with multi-directional forklift
pockets and eco-friendly features, this light tower is meant to
last. Offering 147,344 lumens output to light up your space
with 4 LED light fixtures, it also features an automatic on and off
functionality with a timer and photocell.
